North Cornwall Car Boot Fundraiser 03 June 2018

On Sunday 3rd June 2018 the North Cornwall clan made their way to the Pendeen Car Boot Sale in Stratton, Bude.

Surf Club Mum Yvonne, Volunteers Sarah and Emma (don’t forget Willow the dog!) along with North Cornwall Coordinator, Svenya, sold a grand total of £114.30 worth of donations on the day. This will contribute towards our Surf Therapy courses and Surf Clubs across the UK. A massive shout out to all three volunteers who gave their Sunday to help make the event a success.

A huge thank you to Chris, host of the event, for allocating a free charity space to the Wave Project as well as Jackie, Julie, Dave and Surf Dome for their donations.

Do you have a fundraising idea or know of an event you think we should get involved with in North Cornwall?

The programme is a real motivator for our students. They look forward to attending and are buzzing with excitement when they return.”

After completing Beach School I joined The Wave Project Surf Club!

Year 9 Student, Cornwall

The student’s were openly sharing knowledge and understanding with peers when the lesson covered aspects of the curriculum covered during Beach School, such as erosion and geography.

“Beach School has had a positive and lasting impact on the majority of the pupils who participated. Improving pupil outcomes reducing antisocial learning behaviours, raising pupil engagement and aspiration.”

“My son loves the Wave Project and all the guys are absolutely fantastic. He is able to be himself and is accepted for who he is. He could not wait to go surfing every week and showed an excitement. Instead of trying to fit in and be someone he is not. They have fun and the atmosphere and positivity is amazing. The happiest days are with the Wave Project. So thank you, you really do change children’s lives.”

Parent, Cornwall

“The Wave Project has totally inspired my son. It has the right balance of challenge, excitement, relaxation, being part of a group. It also helps with his confidence, mood and sensory difficulties. It ticks all the boxes really. Plus we parents get a bit of a rest, can chat to other parents and have a cup of tea on the beach! He always says being in the sea is where he feels happiest and where his worries all go away…”

Surfing has given my son confidence and self esteem that, as a teenager living with high functioning autism, he never had before. This amazing work should not be underestimated.
